Case Study: Burhouse

Industry: Wholesale Distribution
Application: Warehouse Management System

Company Overview

Founded in 1968 by managing director Clinton Burhouse, the company initially concentrated on supplying the then popular lapidary hobby market. In 1974 the market demanded a development into calibrated stones and jewellery components. More recently, the company has split to create two divisions. The bead and findings division has been rebranded Burhouse Beads and runs alongside the sister company, Rockshop Wholesale, which continues to sell crystals, minerals, fossils and gemstone gift lines. Burhouse Beads is now one of UK’s largest suppliers to the trade of beads and findings for jewellery design.
